Yeah he seems remarkably average.

edit: vvvv I guess. I'm not a Boston fan but some rumors have also linked Scandella to Washington and I want no part of it if that's the asking price. Not that the Capitals have a first-round pick this season.

Yeah it seems like a waste of a 5th round draft pick because I can't see McPhee selecting anyone but Schmidt or Grubauer. If he selects anyone else (such as Eller or Wilson) then that would be a huge win for the Capitals because they could then trade Grubauer for a likely good return and also Nate Schmidt owns. Please don't select Nate Schmidt.

Brodin is younger, only marginally more expensive, and is better at shot suppression. The Bruins need that kind of guy on the second pairing.


This makes it seem like Scandella is insanely better at offense or something but he has 27 goals and 89 points in 373 games vs 18 goals and 79 points in 331 for Brodin. There isn't that much of a gap.

Also this last year Brodin had 3 goals but Scandella only had 4, so lol.

gms are probably doing their final draft prep. i'd expect trades during the draft.

I think the NHL has a rule in contract negotiations that you have to drink every time someone says corsi and everybody's passed out by now.

Shot suppression is a myth.

There's 3 guys in the league good at it, anyone else who looks good at it is a quirk of usage.

Yah all I'm seeing is Nate Schmidt dragging around the corpse of Brooks Orpik while Scandella has been with like Dumba and other decent players.

i.e. these charts aren't the definitive measure of a player and I love fancystats

No but it Nate Schmidt owns then Marco Scandella must own even more.

Otherwise you're throwing out undeserved ownses.

Marco Scandella's face has never been used to scare children into obedience so that's a point for him.
